iweb_getDomObj

If i enter this into the address bar:
javascript:var oId = crmForm.ObjectId;alert (oId);

---------------------------
Message from webpage
---------------------------
{A8EB1C99-B9F9-DB11-89FF-00137241178B}
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

how do i get the {XXXXXC99-B9F9-DB11-89FF-00137241178B}
stored as a var or some usable instance???

I'm losing my mind and it's 2:00am in the morning... help ! ! ! please stop the madness...

ie8 using dom tools and fiddler, this is making me crazy because I know i made the correct decision with ahk, i just am at my wits end... help please

the normal url looks like this:
http://xxcrm.xxcrm.com:xxxx/sfa/conts/edit.aspx?id={xxxxxC99-B9F9-DB11-89FF-00137241178B}

i really want to do this with iweb because it makes practical sense, if not please provide a viable alternative... did I say HELP already i'm laughing as i cry...

i will try to be more clear.

edit: now that i'm on my second post i can edit, go figure ha ha

i made a valiant attempt to figure out how to get the same var string out of iweb as i can by injecting a js string into the address bar. i can't figure it out, it seems like it would be simple with the iweb_getdomobj(pwb;"xxxxx") but for the life of me i can't get the object... variable... whatever you want to call it today out of the xml or url string or js code etc... maybe i'm just doing it all wrong lol, wouldn't be the first time i've fixed things by doing them wrong ha ha.

i can do it with a simple js injection but didn't want to go there as it is to hackerish for the company that i work with. not sure what they will say when i come up with a solution to a workflow problem that vendors won't address-give up, without big maintenance contracts... "hey we are in a recession... my company is going on 2nd year of no raises even for salaried employees... let alone hourly who have had to face reductions.
Just trying to survive this mess... javascript" means access activex with unsigned scripts etc... thats why i'm trying to stick with the whole iweb com dom thing. can you tell i'm not a coder lol, wannabeeee

Com Error Notification

Function Name: "Navigate2"
ERROR: The COM Object may not be a valid Dispatch Object!
First ensure that COM Library has been initialized through Com_Init().

Will Continue?

it does about 4 of these like it's not ready from the com lib or something.

I am in over my head, will gladly ship small amounts of currency regularly if i can get this figured out.

I would just do the javascript: thing but it requires that we lessen security and is a concern.

I'm trying to skip the whole activex problem of calling ie windows and think this is the answer just not sure...

I think i am having trouble switching between the different com dom html js concepts. woulld love to just be doing the iWeb thing with the new iWebbrowser Learner, it looks simple enough once i get past this initial hurdle of storing clsid OR guid in a var.

Still trying other iterations of the iWeb concept, does it have something to do with using the "Code Testing Sandbox" or windows 7 or ie8 or is it just that i'm brain damaged lol

this is what i ran

See if this works:

All i did was take out the "window name here" and put "A" and it was good to go

here is the your code:


here is my alteration to your code:


Thanks so much for all your help, last question i guess is do you know the direct translation of this to an iWeb function, if not i will check the iWeb.lib and see if its there.

If it isn't a function already it should be and have your name added to the hall of fame

jethrow is my hero

This is a link back to my request to get this added to the new AHK Recorder they are working on with iWebbrowser2 Learner as i didn't see it in the iWeb.ahk - (lib)

again jethrow, thanks for all your help

forgive the ignorance but of what relavance is this
there is iweb functions to execute jscript and vbscript as well as retreive global variables

and of what general purpose use is the objectid. Its obscure rarely used and as this is the only use whatsoever i have ever seen for it it wouldnt be a Basic Automation functionality

my objective was to get the UID from the common addresable URL.

The addressable URL is a constant, the UID on the end is not and is generally found in this form {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

UID's of this nature are not uncommon as they tie together parent child relationships etc...

They are often found in the world of crm and i'm sure in many other relationship oriented databases.

I was unable find a way to extract the UID from either the url or the ObjectId of the form (probably expressed in many other ways like 'parentid') or in any other way.

If you have a simpler solution for getting this from any url or form by way of a iWeb function i would be happy to hear about it and i'm sure the many that come after me will also.

I tried many of the functions listed in the latest iWeb.ahk and was not able to get this returned as a var that was usable. i admit that i'm new to this and coding is not my normal thing so i could have been doing it wrong.

so if you have a better way then post it or test it in some way otherwise i think i just pissed you off lol

Having thought about this more i could probably make some big money in the crm world providing user defined workflow with out requiring addition of script to the server or clientside. Maybe we should just close this whole thing quietly and walk away with the money... (translation: i don't have to pay big money to a "tfosorcim"(read backward... they have spies you know) licensed consultant to make systemic mods for workflow etc... they can be custom made for the user without violating license agreements for said products or modifying the code.)

Thanks for listening lol

tank ... pi$$ed off ... ... wouldn't imagine it

This should work as an all iWeb script:

EDIT - modified based on the next posts by tank & sinkfaze. Good catches guys!

@jethrow
while it doesnt seem to hurt i assume its known that the "Javascript:" protocol is unecesary with execscript


@xclr8tr
what is this magical crm world you speak so highly of?
where can i learn more so i can make a more informed decision on if such is universaly usefull via an iweb function

I can't believe I'm the only one of the three that caught the error in this...



At any rate, I'm more on board with tank with regards to the objectId. I've used COM and iWeb to work with both CRM and web apps at my place of work and have never once needed to retrieve the objectId for anything; in fact, this is first request I believe I've ever seen in these forums to retrieve the objectId. Short of a massive popularity burst I don't think it needs an iWeb function of its own.
